"Teflon tape"? It's not what you may think.

Did you know?

• Teflon® isn’t a thing — it’s a brand! A world famous brand that’s owned by Chemours.

• The Teflon® brand identifies products that are made with Chemours raw material(s), like fluoropolymer or industrial coatings. Over time, the tape has been mistakenly referred to as "Teflon tape". We thought it was important to let you know that.

• If somebody offers to sell you “Teflon tape” when you need plumber tape (or thread seal tape), they are wrong, mistaken or — worse — trying to mislead you. To help you make an informed purchase, you should be aware that no plumber tape is authorized by Chemours to be sold as “Teflon tape”.

• Chemours has brought thousands of meaningful innovations to people for more than 200 years, including many Teflon® branded products for consumers. Plumber tape is not one of these innovations.
